Android Question Color Animation ?

[GMan]

Looooooong ago there was a Animation method for colors, meant that a image cycled "itself" through its colors and change them by simply replacing it with another emdedded color of that image (dont know any more how that method was called exactly).

Is this possible for Android, too ?
Could that be a smart way to give some "animation" to logos etc. without libs, classes etc.

P.S. was it BitBlitting or so ?

It was called palette animation or color cycling.
I found something here:

Yeah, thats what i meant (i think that BitBlitting was earlier @ ATARI-Times ;-))
So, still the questions:
is it possible...or...is there....or...can someone....

Color cycling was used in many Commodore Amiga demos back in the day.

The bitmap itself was static, but the palette itself (256 colors?) was shifted continuously. If the colors in the palette and picture were arranged properly, you could get the illusion of motion. Not sure this is possible now that we have a 32-bit RGB colorspace in most cases.
